Study for Wet Evening
1986

A dark, moody painting depicting a nighttime scene with silhouettes of houses and buildings, some with dimly lit windows, against a deep blue and purple sky. The brushstrokes are visible, adding texture to the image, and there's a signature in the upper right corner with the year '95.
